This is a powerpoint that I used as my visual aid for the second unit project. My topic was the Boston Tea Party, and in this powerpoint, it shows the knowledge that I knew about my topic, and how it supported my speech that I presented. I used several different kinds of animation, pictures, and word art in this powerpoint that shows my knowlege of technology tools. This powerpoint supported my knowledge for the history of the Boston Tea Party, and was a great visual aid to show to the classroom. This was my first powerpoint of the year that I created for my project, and it was a well created "start-off" powerpoint for the year.
GOAL: I want to use technoogy better on unit projects by adding more animations and also adding more pictures, and eliminating all words possible on my powerpoints, or posters.




This is a powerpoint that I used as my visual aid for the third unit project when I was presenting my presentation based on the topic of Sacagawea, and her point of view on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I used several animations that i worked very hard on in this powerpoint, and it has many pictures, and is also very colorful, well. I did not use as many words on this powerpoint than I did on my other one, because the pictures would catch the attention of my audience, rather than all words. This whole powerpoint shows my knowlege for technology tools.


This is a powerpoint of my fourth unit projefct, for my topic of The Lowell Mill Girls, and I believe that it was mybest powerpoint yet. I also believed that I showed my color schemes, animations, and transition skills very well, because all of the information from my speech had to do with my visual aid. It also only showed pictures, and a scarce number of words, because the audience would pay more attention if a picture was infront of them, instead of words. This powerpoint shows my improvement in technology tools based on the other two powerpoints.

civic engagement (leadership, social skill, politeness, task skill, helpfulness, diversity, clarity, success of outcomes)

This powerpoint shows my collaboration and community skills, because another student and I worked on this powerpoint, because we were partners for a "Road Trip" project in U.S. History. We split up slides equally for each one of us to do, and over all, we collaborated well,and did equal amounts of work. We used different types of custom animation, and many pictures to show our knowledge for the topic that we had to do this project on. We worked well as a group, and did not have any contriversies about the powerpoint, or the work that each of us had to do as a partner for the "Road Trip" project.

library skills and information literacy, search strategies, evaluating sources, mathematical reasoning, scientific method, data presentation and interpretation, rubrics, assessment, reflection
